1t is a delightful trip down the coast 10 Naples
and one which when once taken one wishes to
repeat. Although 1t was pretty cold, some OF
the time we were gone sill do not think there
was member of our party who but said he in
tended making the trip again this winter.
Directly, the writer has not dollars ihtetest
in the enterprise. but after a thirty ears nesi-
dence in Florida, and having had some pretty
dearly purchased experience, honestly believe
that the Naples enterprise presents the best
opening for labor and capital Ihave ever known
in Florida enterprises. -r ...s.- $50 %
pine lands; there is poor high land to settle on
there are health and pure water; there are ex.
haustless supplies OF fish. oysters and game You
can be sure OF raising vegetables and tropical
fruits, without fear Of cold, and for lines anfi
lemons, it is the place. These things aud con-
ditions are as sure as that zoe saw them, and
what we did not see parties living there told rs.
Just what have written was agreed on az
facts by each and all Of our party. All said they
were agreeably disappointed. I write Ia the in
terests OF no man or set Of men, but because re-
quested TO write by members of out party, most
OF whom are wiaterlng In Florida, 50 that they
could send 1t to their absent friends and loved
ones. There we've only few OF the party had
any pecuniary interest in the Nipples enterprise,
but after seeing they all wanted stock and lots

ful and obliging skipper, has one Of the most
comfortable boats on the coast, and his charges
are moderate. ..t
1t you want companion who will make you
feel good all the time, instruct you with his
varied travels throughout this country, Europe
and other countries, and will keep you laughing
all the time, and catch all the fish you want, and

dier. He is grand old man (but he says he is just
twenty five years old.) 4u'
We are all under many obligations to the
General Manager for the complete arrangements
and the pleasant details which were carried out
80 nicely. Any one desiring any further infor-

trip, would like to write about al some future
